An animated Michael Jackson Halloween special is coming this fall

CBS is responsible.

Ever since Michael Jacksonreleased Thriller, he's been king of a lot of things, including Halloween. Now, CBS has decided to release a new special this fall called Michael Jackson's Halloween. It's reportedly an hour long animated broadcast that will feature stars like Alan Cumming, Lucy Liu, Jim Parsons, Lucas Till and of course, music from Michael.

While it's sort of weird that Michael will appear as an animated version of himself, we're hoping CBS has some taste about it.
